The description says water resistant. Is it submersible?

When washing the device off under running water, yes the unit is sealed, however, there are two small vent holes, just behind the power button which should be covered with your thumb. As for your question, the scanning/detector part of the device can only be submersed in water which is about 4 inches. The entire unit should not go with you to the bottom of the river, lake, ocean, or swimming pool. The device meets IEC 60529 IP 66 dust and water resistance standards. Hopefully that answers you question. If the area in question is bigger than a normal size puddle or pothole just scoop out what you need to scan, place the material in a bucket with some water and power-up the detector...

as to my knowledge. It takes batteries and I don't think it would be submersible. If it was I think it would say more like water proof.

To a point. You can modify it with same silicone and make it more water resistant otherwise it says you can rinse it off and it will be fine. So a quick dip in the water without the modification.

The instructions say you can rinse it off but the battery case and the speaker hole are vulnerable. They recommend you NOT submerge it.

Yes, waterproof (sprinklers, rain). Can't submerge it, though, don't think.

If you are referring to being water resistant. Mine hasn't been in anyway near water. I will think it's not water resistant.

It is water resistant, in that as it is made of heavy nylon, it will shed water, but it will not keep items dry if submeged in water

No, It is water resistant as it has a coating on the top and seems to hold up to our snow but I would not call it water proof. Very solid.

Resistant, absolutely. I've spent many rides in the rain with this decide. I would not recommend submerging it in water for any reason, however. It is not waterproof.

Yes it is fully submersible. I currently have it lying horizontally at the bottom of my red-eared slider's tank.

No, its not water resistant, i use this in Aruba (harsh conditions for electrical stuff) and it stays ok for 4 year now, i use this outdoors under the roof,

its water resistant, but it won't stay dry submerged for long. I did some mods to mine by gluing the glass to the top cap, and then coating the threads on any unscrewable pieces with silicone paste. Now it holds up submerged.

NOO. It's water resistant but if you plan on doing that...you need to go with a Life Proof case. Two VERY different things!

They dont claim it to be waterproof but water resistant. Yeah it is pretty resistant against water. Doesnt distort sound. I sure wouldnt submurge it though.

The description on Amazon does not say that it is water proof so I doubt it.

It is not water resistant. I used it on a two week vacation. Used it in light rain the bag was soaked. It's a decent bag but not for rugged use.

It's pretty airtight. Although I haven't gotten it wet yet so I couldn't say for sureit. I would assume that it is. I'm very satisfied With this product. I'm sure it can be out in the rain but I wouldn't try to submerge it.lol

Water-resistant; yes. Water beads up and rolls off nicely. Waterproof; no. I would not leave water standing on it nor let it get soaked.

No, this model is water resistant, I think that you are looking for a waterproof product.

I believe it water resistant, I spilled water on it and my phone was dry. I wouldn't go swimming with it though
